RELAX. eat your favorite food, go watch a movie, get a very good night sleep and pray. let your brain work tomorrow! GOD bless and goodluck!

that is Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment. It will help you a lot on the exam. It is a really hard book and it will teach you how to analyze on such situation. When I am planning for my 2nd take I said to myself that I should take after the 45 days asap. and if I fail ill take it again on the next 45 days. It depends on how you feel confident to yourself. If you get time, dont force yourself on the book. Let your brain relax for sometime. That is what I learned from my 1st take I can rush to finish 1 book a week which was not healthy. GOD bless and Goodluck.

i tried doing all the questions from NCSBN and after I received the result where I failed I focused on that specific part. actually on my 1st take I read saunders, PDA, Exam Cram, Kaplan Strategies along with NCSBN.. on my 2nd take I focused mostly on NCSBN and HESI book. Just believe in yourself that you can do it. PDA helps a lot cause mostly they give out triaging questions. GOODLUCK!

dont give up arviie. i got almost triaging on my last exam.. focus on NCSBN questions and PDA and Prayers. Hope this helps! GOD bless you! You can do it!

i would strongly suggest PDA and NCSBN plus PRAYERS. GOD bless you all!

snowyeyes2: dont get discouraged. I know how it feels to be in your situation after I failed. Don't loose hope. Just think that everything happens for a reason and this should not let you stop from attaining your dreams. It is not impossible to pass as long as you believe in yourself and pray harder. Nothing is impossible. Read more of what you are weak in. GOD bless you!

hi futurenurse33, i would suggest focusing on your weak areas. I would recommend NCSBN review course. :) the NCSBN flashcard is very good in studying. :) GOODLUCK and GOD bless! :)

It was like a dream, NOOO I hope I am not!! My dreams came into reality after I opened the mailed letter of results. I was crying all the time after I touched it. And felt it was so thin, unlike the first mail I received which was thick. By then on I knew I passed! I was crying before my husband opened the mail and was screaming for happiness after he confirmed i really pass! Things I did before I took the exam: 1. Prayed really hard everyday. :) 2. Review with HESI and Read the book 3/4 of it focusing on my weak points-Maternity and Pediatrics. Our instructor was so great she helped us analyze the questions and calculations. :) 3. Got NCSBN review course online. Read some of it and took tests. 4. Had all the normal values on my wall and diseases/values/medications that I usually forget. 5. NCSBN Medication flashcards read all the details about it. On my first exam I read through cover to cover Saunders Comprehensive Review, PDA of Lacharity, Exam Cram, Kaplan Strategies Book, the Mnemonics from one of the topics here in allnurses. It took me 265q and 5 hours and 50 mins to take the exam. I knew I was not prepared enough before I took the exam. Everything I got was so hard. I was praying over questions to questions coz I really dont know the answer and choosing what I think was a bit practical to my senses. This was harder than my 1st take. A week before my exam: 1. Brushed up with imp normal values, EKG, and some meds. 2 Did review questions with NCSBN about 30-50 questions. 3 days before the exam: I got lazy studying kept on thinking that I'll fail it and I am not prepared enough to take it.. Got a lot of rest and Praying. Went enjoying the last day before my exam treating my husband and daughter the whole day just to make me tired and sleep early. Before I took the exam, kept talking to myself that I can make it. I need to be positive while I am looking at my dear husband and daughter. Kissed both of them and went in. EVERYONE CAN DO IT TOO! JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! BE POSITIVE THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT! PRAY TO HIM!! GOD BLESS EVERYONE! GOOD LUCK! I Hope this helps. :) with lotz of love to allnurses and those who inspired me to achieve my license now. :) CJS, RN:nurse:

congratulations! i hope to receive my results by mail later or tomorrow. I hope all went well too.. GOD bless You! To GOD be the glory!

Same here briauna. Just be calm the last time I took the test I was very anxious. All I think was the time running on the screen(which was the worst thing I did). Stay focused and read each word of the question. I will be taking the exam 3 days from now. I did not prepare as much as I prepared the 1st time with 5 books and still failed. I hope everything will be alright and I hope we pass the exam! GOD bless you and goodluck!

Thanks lovenicole1970.. Yes I am reviewing on my weak points now based on my previous exam. I hope and pray that we will pass this! GOD bless and goodluck too on your exam!

Thanks Vee18.. I will follow your advice! GOD bless!

I would be very happy if you can share me ways to control anxiety and last minute tips before the exam. I failed the 1st time and now taking chances and very eager in passing it the 2nd time. I dont feel prepared but ill be doing the best i can this time! GOOD LUCK to those who will be taking the exam and CONGRATULATIONS for everyone who passed! THank you and GOD BLESS US ALL!

i cant send PM kpatid coz im just new here. If I'll be able to answer it, SURE! But let me tell you that I failed on my last exam. And trying once again on April. I felt over reviewed and stressed out reading everything, I hope this time I can get through it even more relaxed.
